I MPRovnMENT vIN cAsTERs.

The Schedule referred to in these Letten Patent and making part o! thename Beit known' that I, GUY E. GRosse, of Massillon,

v county of Stark and State of Ohio, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Casters; and I do hereby declare that tbe following is anexact description thereof', reference being had tothe accompanyingdrawings and to 'the letters of reference marked thereon.

My invention consists in constructing caster-platesA Both plate andflange are perforated forwood-scrcws,

with which to fasten against the inside aml ou thebottom ofcorner-footed furniture.

At b, and inside of the corner of said flange, is seen the bearing inwhich the axle freely turns, as in ordinary casters.

e represent-s the lower end of the bearing, and d, the wheel. y Thebearing b, flange a a, and plate c c are cast in rece. p Figure 2represents the right-line form of said flange, and, is simply but oneside of it, and, by remov-l ing the bearingb to the middle, the articleis properly made -for straight-lined furniture. The means for fasteningwith wood-screws are similar in both cases. This method enables personspossessing furniture with feet of angular orl straightfline form tofasten their casters on in a rm and enduring manner.

`What I claim as my invention,` and desire to secure by Let-ters Patent,is-f The improved castel' for furniture of the class described, vwhenits plate O is provided upon the upper surface with the angular orstraight vertical flange u a, arranged and applied to furniture in themanner described, for the purpose specified.
